Maggia

The Maggia were an international criminal organization who were the biggest customers of Stark Industries, an American weapon-dealing company. They had an agreement with the Ten Rings terrorist group, which led to their downfall.

History
Headed by the Nefaria family leader Whitney Frost (nee Nefaria), the Maggia made Stark Industries rich by buying their weaponry. However, the Maggia were indiscriminate with their choices of customers, and they were an international criminal organization. Maggia did business and worked alongside the Ten Rings terrorist group in the Middle East. In 2009, when Stark Industries stopped selling weapons, a group of Maggia soldiers attacked their headquarters in Malibu, California, in hopes of stealing weapons. Their whole team was wiped out by Tony Stark, who used his advanced "Iron Man" suit to kill them all.

Having been attacked at home, he decided to take the fight to Maggia. He returned to his former captivity location in Afghanistan and destroyed several Ten Rings weapon caches, and killed Maggia mercenary Marco Scarlotti after destroying one of their weapon convoys. He also destroyed a Dreadnought tank that the Maggia owned, and Stark decided to pay his old friend Frost a visit at her mansion in Italy.

Stark destroyed all of the bunkers at the mansion as well as the Maggia soldiers, tanks, and helicopters, and Frost was killed when she was crushed to death by debris. Maggia's last hope was their Flying Fortress that Stark Industries owner Obadiah Stane had secretly and illegally sold to them. Stark destroyed the fortress' defenses before knocking it out of the sky by destroying its engines, and with their last men plummeting from the sky on an exploding fortress, Maggia was finished.
